I like your obsfucation.

Received my payout today. Thank you. Pretty simple. Follow instructions. Prove ownership. Receive payment.

Excellent company. Good for the industry.

Some anonymous guy named Moe is supposedly running it.

MNW is "promoting it"

Is anyone going to this conference. How many attendees have registered?

That video is EPIC.

I love that tec guys enthusiasm but he did a terrible job of trying to explain what it is.  No fault of his own.  It is just difficult to grasp the complex and revolutionary idea of a decentralized currency.

1. You can mine bitcoin
2. You can earn bitcoin
3 You can buy bitcoin

You can use bitcoin to purchase or exchange value with anyone who wants it and who has something you want.

Bottom Line.   If two people agree on the value of a transaction then it is no different then any other transfer of value.

Chris is considered one of the best money transmission lawyers in the country.

Interesting. I'm not a libertarian so I guess I wouldn't know. But the us government seems to be doing a good job running out of funds all by itself.  The total amount of US tax dollars collected supports less that 1/2 of the cost of all the programs the government provides.   Thus the need to continue to print USD  to the tune of $85 Billion Dollars a month.  

Soon we'll see this photo with US Dollars.

Huh???

But Mt Gox's money was located in the US.  As the world financial hub and the issuer of the world reserve currency, The US and its regulations will carry significant weight globally.

Only if the person who receives the bitcoins from the pool in Kazakhstan sells his bitcoins to someone in the US.

Congratulations Alan!  Great news.

"They" are "we",  the members of this community. Did you volunteer to do transcripts like they volunteered to produce and participate in this debate?

Kluge,  thanks for transcribing.

And thanks to everyone involved in producing this debate.

I'm continually impressed by the talent and commitment and the passion of this community.

Trusted.

The Bitcoin Foundation's mission is here:

(nothing specific about the US)

While the path that legislation and regulation take us down in the US is important this should not be the sole concern of the foundation.

...there’s no reason a compliant Bitcoin company shouldn’t be able to get banking services...

http://www.bankdirector.com/index.php/board-issues/strategy/should-your-bank-do-business-with-bitcoin/

Here are factors to consider if a Bitcoin company seeks a relationship with your bank:
Is the Bitcoin company compliant with the traditional regulatory requirements for financial institutions including Bank Secrecy Act regulations?
Is the Bitcoin company registered as a money services business in accordance with the FinCEN guidance issued in March and has the company fully implemented an effective AML and Know Your Customer compliance program?
Even if not required, what procedures are in place for the Bitcoin company to collect the personal information on customers and transactions? Although Bitcoin is favored by some for its anonymity, Bitcoin intermediaries can implement procedures to voluntarily comply with obligations.
Is the Bitcoin company licensed under state money transmitter laws? And if not, have they received legal opinions on why a license is not required?
As regulatory focus increases, are there compliance policies and procedures in place to enable the Bitcoin company to react quickly, effectively and efficiently to new regulations?
Does the Bitcoin company have an experienced compliance officer?
Has the Bitcoin company conducted adequate due diligence on all parties who touch the flow of funds?
What Does This Mean to me?

Whether it is Bitcoin or another virtual currency, the potential exists to revolutionize international payments through a Bitcoin style payment or distribution system. For this to occur, regulators, financial institutions and businesses need to understand and accept the potential impact and join the dialog to develop strong banking relationships with Bitcoin companies that focus on complying with the law even in light of the current regulatory uncertainty.

I know tiger guy. Doesn't sound like him. And as far as I know he does not trade GC. Nick squatters and scammers often assume the identity of trusted traders.  Always confirm that the person you are trading with is who they say they are. If you are not sure as someone who traded with them.

who's that?
